CM 2105 FINAL DELATTE newest actual / QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Verified/graded a+.
Point used in Differential leveling process to temporarily transfer elevation from the HI - ---Answers---Turning Point
End a level loop at a known benchmark - ---Answers--- Closed Loop
BM + BS = - ---Answers---HI
HI - FS = - ---Answers---TP elevation
Scope: Determination of elevations "profile" along the
centerline of a route 1) plotted profile allows user to "observe" general slope of ground 2) determine where drainage structures should be located 3) calculate amounts of cut/fill from the existing profile to a proposed profile - ---Answers---Profile Leveling
Scope: useful in the computation of volumes
1) determines elevations for line perpendicular to the centerline 2) Planning 1 / 3
3) elevation spots 4) Accuracy Requirement 5) Equipment 6) Hand level to GPS - ---Answers---Cross Section Leveling
Scope: excellent method for determining volumes of
irregularly shaped excavations *typically a redundant activity (dying out) - ---Answers---Grid Leveling
Most common method: use a calibrated chain and transfer
along a column vertically - ---Answers---Transferring Elevations
Infinite number of ways to apply leveling 1) bucking in elevations 2) setting the instrument at the same elevation each day - --- Answers---Applied Leveling
Can be existing objects
example: Brass Monuments in Concrete - ---Answers---
Setting Benchmarks
1) Minimizes the possibility of errors and blunders 2) 3 wires are read for one elevation reading (procedure) 2 / 3
3) Average of 3 wires is determined (note keeping) - --- Answers---Three Wire Leveling
- setting elevations is most frequent use of leveling
- no mistakes (100% correct)
- Balance BS and FS
- Obtain HI from 2 benchmarks - ---Answers---Setting Grade
Visible Light Electronic Level - ---Answers---Types of Lasers
1) Fixed -pipeline -pocket -carpenters 2) Rotating -horizontal plane -vertical plane 3) Utility - ---Answers---Classes of Lasers
Line and Vertical Lasers Pocket Lasers Walls Ceilings - ---Answers---Interior Lasers
